Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

Chapter 384 Master Jia Jing Returns Home

The boy almost turned a deaf ear to it,

Jia Zhen's legs couldn't walk, but that didn't stop him from speaking loudly.

"Brother, the area past the palace is a restricted area."

Now, the guide turned his head and looked at Jia Zhen. Under the light of the white lantern,

His face was a little pale.

I only heard him say lightly,

"Just keep up. Didn't you say to take a shortcut?"

"This is the shortcut."

Jia Zhen's legs were so weak that they were almost unrecognizable. If he walked into the restricted area, would he be shot to death with an arrow?

Jia Rong also came up slowly.

"Dad, what should I do?"

"Would you like to go?"

"What if he doesn't leave? The lantern is in his hand!

"Even if I die, he will die first."

"We just need to follow from a distance."

Jia Zhen's voice trembled as he spoke, and he felt even more uneasy.

My eyes swung left and right. Except for the stars in the sky, everything else was dark.

Could it be that my aunt did this on purpose?

If we die and Ningguo Mansion is gone, what good will it do her?

As Jia Zhen walked, his imagination flourished in his mind.

Just like that, at night, with white paper lanterns and a group of people walking in complete silence...

Jia Zhen and Jia Rong no longer dared to shout loudly.

Just a gentle reminder.

"Dad, don't go the wrong way!"

"Grandpa, don't go where you shouldn't go..."

"Go this way..."

At this time, from somewhere, there seemed to be mournful music, faintly.

And the sound of the flute...

"Dad! Listen, there's funeral music over there..." Jia Rong swallowed a brave man's saliva and said to Jia Zhen tremblingly.

Jia Zhen exhaled a breath of hot air and felt cool.

I always feel like my hair is standing on end, and I feel tense all over, as if I am frozen.

He scolded Jia Rong, "Nonsense, the Queen Mother over there is dead."

"Concubine Zhen also went,"

“Nature has sorrow and joy.”

……

"Yes, I almost forgot about this." Jia Rong was not angry after being scolded, and muttered to himself.

At this time of silence,

Suddenly, a loud and distant voice sounded, scaring the father and son so much that they almost lost their souls.

"Master Jia Jing...is back home!"

"Jia Jing... the elder master... is back home!"

“Yes, yes…”

It's the white lantern guy,

……

"Shut up!" This was all Jia Zhen could say, and he said it with repressed emotion because his legs really couldn't stand.

One point of tiredness, nine points of fear,

He couldn't move a step.

Running up and covering one's mouth to stop the person shows that one has the desire to commit a crime but not the strength to do so.

The servants who followed were all terrified...

Just let the white lantern guy shout the way,

They half carried, half dragged along behind.

"Master Jing is back!"

"Jia Jing is back home."

……

The calls startled the sleeping birds...

Taking advantage of the night, the sound traveled far and wide

……

In the palace, everyone who was interested had their eyes lit up.

……

It's almost dawn,

Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, who were like mud, were dragged back to the Jia Mansion.

The legs were red and swollen, and the swollen areas had ulcerated.

Blood and pus stained his pants.

"How...why did it become like this?" Yu Shi saw the bloody mess.

Can this still hold up?

Someone has to come today, and as filial sons and daughters-in-law, they have to make arrangements.

Jia Zhen had someone feed him a mouthful of soup before he recovered his breath.

He casually asked Youshi, "What did aunt say last night?"

Yu lowered her head and said,

"What can I say? I can tell that my aunt doesn't like to bully people. There were many guests yesterday, but my aunt didn't entertain any of them."

"Even when someone comes to the palace, my aunt is indifferent."

"I think you all blamed her wrongly."

Jia Zhen said coldly, "You are wrong! What kind of eyes do you have? You are just a grasshopper's eyes."

"Who has ever seen someone who controls her nephew like this? And she's a cousin."

"I wanted to take a break today."

"I heard that quite a few people came yesterday."

"I guess I won't be able to rest today. I feel like I'm going to lose half my life after this incident."

"Forget it, you go out first! I'll take a rest."

"Call me later if someone comes."

The more Jia Zhen talked, the more headache he felt. He couldn't bear to think back on last night's experience.

He just lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Yu Shi looked at Jia Zhen's face and saw that he really looked like a monster.

So I agreed.

She originally wanted to say that her parents were coming today.

But think about it, for Jia Zhen, he is not a very important relative.

Forget it.

There was snoring everywhere at Jia Zhen's place.

……

Yu simply packed up her things and continued to head towards the mourning hall.

The first cries in the morning come from my daughter and daughter-in-law.

The other people in the Jia family woke up from the sound of crying.

……

As the sun shone into the courtyard, more and more people came.

Yu's stepmother, Yu Lao Niang, came with her two daughters, Yu Erjie and Yu Sanjie.

The three of them entered the mourning hall and cried for a while.

It's really like pear blossoms in the rain.

Lin Daiyu, who was standing by, heard Youshi's introduction and looked carefully.

Are these the Yu sisters?

They are indeed a pair of sisters.

If you want to be pretty, you must be filial.

This is particularly evident in this pair of sisters.

No wonder……

To make Old Lady You look rich and noble,

Two daughters as beautiful as flowers were ruined by the Jia family.

If you don't know, that's fine. But if you do know, it's ok to remind others.

Do your best and leave the rest to fate. Sometimes character determines destiny.

She quietly leaned over to Jia Min's ear and whispered something.

Jia Min frowned and nodded slightly.

She glanced at Old Lady You.

Sure enough, I saw that Old Lady You was discussing with Mrs. You about arranging accommodation.

This time, Old Lady You had also been thinking about finding a good family for her two daughters.

So she called Youshi aside,

Just about to speak.

Who knows a voice came from my ear,

"Brother Zhen's daughter-in-law, is this your sister from your mother's family?"

"Are you engaged?"

Youshi looked at Jia Min in surprise. This aunt was so arrogant that she suddenly looked at her stepsister in a different light.

She said hurriedly, "Aunt, my second sister is her, You Erjie, who has been engaged to me since childhood..."

She was just about to talk about child marriage.

Old Lady You, who was standing by, reached out to pull her and said to You Shi with a frown,

"Why do you tell everyone everything?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to call off the engagement?"

Yu Shi's words were immediately choked up. She hesitated for a moment.

She had to go through Jia Zhen to cancel the engagement.

I don't have this ability.

I just listened to what Old Lady You said, I didn't respond.

After that, I never mentioned it again and never took it seriously.

Now asked by Jia Min,

I feel a little embarrassed to say,

Don't let your aunt think that you are snobbish. The key point is that Zhang Hua that Old Lady You mentioned has a bad family background and bad character.

Sure enough, Jia Min frowned and asked, "Why do you want to cancel the engagement?"

Yu-shi mumbled and said nothing.

Old Lady You was a little anxious because her son-in-law was the head of the Jia family.

Who is this? Such a grand figure!

Asking people loudly, what is the reason?

What reason could there be? It’s just a child marriage, I don’t like it anymore.
